You find an item you want, so you watch it. Say it ends in like 6 days....you put it on watch and forget about it....for weeks....happens to me all the time.
Look at this crap:

Happens to me too. I put something on watch, few days later I have the aviliable cash to make a run on it and it's already over for one reason or another or a bidding war started on the item.

I never forget, and I used to do eBay a lot withOUT having items on watch! Dunno why, I always preferred the caveman hand and paper thing. I'd just write the auction number down somewhere or something.

I was mad though that one time I totally forgot about this one game. It had 1 bid and ended at $5... when usually it's a $40+. ARGH!

Other than that I'm good at remembering my items on watch... always a nervewrecking experience whenever you got a REALLY WANTED item on watch and you click on My eBay and go to items watching... praying... and then you see it:

the animals drove the price outta "bargain range" with an early bidding war. *slaps forehead*

OK, so I *AM* cheap, but I almost always never buy games for more than the "average going rate." To pay more to me is insane as it'll always hover around the average rate if not lower.
